The parameters set in the input dictionary decides the nature of the connection pattern being created. Please see parameter list below for a detailed description of these variables.

The connections are created by iterating through either the source or the target layer, consecutively connecting each node to a region in the opposing layer.

Parameters:

model* literal lid^ integer

*modeltype (i.e. /iaf_psc_alpha) of nodes that should be connected to in the layer. All nodes are used if this variable isn't set. ^Nesting depth of nodes that should be connected to. All layers are used if this variable isn't set.

Parameter name: target

Type: dictionary

Parameter description:

See description for source dictionary.

Parameter name: number_of_connections

Type: integer

Parameter description:

Maximum number of connections that each iterating node is allowed. The actual connections being created are picked at random from all the candidate connections.

Parameter name: synapse_model

Type: literal

Parameter description:

The synapse model to be used for creating the connection. . Parameter name: allow_autapses

Type: bool

Parameter description: Used together with the number_of_connections option to indicate if autapses are allowed.

Parameter name: allow_multapses

Type: bool

Parameter description: Used together with the number_of_connections option to indicate if multapses are allowed.
